Multiplication and Division Practice.

Work these problems out in your mind and discuss your strategies with your group. Show a couple of strategies below, but the rest of the questions can just be answered
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
1.     29 x 20 = 580  
2.     33 x 15 = 495
3.     76 x 24 = 1824
4.     65 x 17 =1105
5.     72 x 15 = 1080
6.     33 x 16 = 528
7.     34 x 31 = 1054
8.     42 x 26 = 1092
9.     90 ÷ 30 = 3     
10.   280 ÷ 40 = 7         
11.   300 ÷ 12 = 25
12.   625 ÷ 25 =25

Task Description:

In this task we learnt about ratios. We had to solve the word problems provided and we also had the solve the multiplication and division practice. We had to post at least one of the documents we worked on. I liked this task as it was really fun to do. Working at home has been a lot different now that I don't get to see my friends as often but we'll get used to it.

Stay safe!
